Default Do those disk wipe utilities make a difference in an SSD?

I've been wondering does it even make sense to have a disk or file wipe
utility in an SSD? Written data doesn't even get written to the same
blocks that the previously read data was in an SSD. So basically, all
old data still exists until the Trim command is executed, even if you
try a wipe of the data.
